Gave Opus 5.5 something a little more complicated, I asked it to layout the PCB for the Mikroe "BRUSHLESS 29 CLICK" which is a BLDC motor driver and it did a great job! It burned 1.28M tokens and took 2 hours and 48 min, but it finished! The power paths are clearly well thought and planned out. I would say that this design is definitely passable but could use some improvement!
